The scaffold user course gives you the training you need to use scaffolding safely. The course is for those who will work from scaffolding – not erect, dismantle or alter it – and meets the training requirement for scaffold users in section 17-5 of the Regulations concerning the performance of work.
You learn what to check before stepping onto a scaffold, how to use it correctly, and what to do if you discover faults or defects.
